So given it's almost impossible to determine this on the field these days. Which team is the best in the state in each corresponding age group for boys and girls. I've included both the single u16 and u17 age groups.

If someone else lists a team - either give that team a 2nd or 3rd vote - the 3rd vote gives the team the spot. Then when we get 3 disagreeing the election - facts will need to be presented to determine top squad.

For U14G, its either CF Premier ECNL or NTH DA with a possible 3rd in Roswell Santos who went undefeated in the NL Piedmont 10-0-1. I don't think there is any way objectively to assess which is better though...

However, by plugging Tophat and U14 into the boxes it looks like they went around 20-1-1 on the year, with FOUR wins of over 10 points and FIVE wins by 5+. 9 of their games were close. By and large, U14 GDA looks like garbage with results like that, especially south Florida GDA.

CF Premier went 13-3-3 so far with only 1 blowout win (6 goals) in ECNL.

I'll give the edge to the NTH team.

That said, there are too many GDA and ECNL clubs in Florida (12 vs 6 in Georgia).

Its impossible to know how they would stack up to DA squads, but I feel like KSA 01 Boys should be mentioned in this conversation. They might be the most talented non-DA boys team to ever play in this state

NTH 05 DA was ranked #1 nationally for most of the year.. and you're not 100% sure that they're the best team locally?

Even when they fly around the country, very few teams can even give them a good game.

U17G1 - TH DA2 - CF Platinum3 - Tormenta (don’t know if they count since merger with USA-Mt. Pleasant, but they are excellent)

U12B1 - NASA/TH DA2 - Atlanta United DA (important to note that AU routinely plays their best players up, so this shouldn’t be taken to imply that they don’t have the best group player for player)

U13B1 - Atlanta United DA2 - CF DA3 - UFA DA or GSA ECNL (I haven’t seen these two recently, but big step down from the top 2 to either of these)

U171 - UFA DA2 - CF DA3 - Atlanta United DA (important to note that AU routinely plays their best players up, so this shouldn’t be taken to imply that they don’t have the best group player for player)

Re: U14G...I will give you TH DA...but GSA 05 ECNL just beat SSA twice in 2 weeks...and tied Concorde Platinum twice...with Platinum playing all their 04 Playups. So based on head to head GSA 05 ECNL would be the No. 2 U14 girls team.

I know I can’t be the only person on this forum to chuckle anytime KSA of any age group is mentioned with rarified greatness. A number of prior KSA 01 parents have knowingly laughed when I asked them about the age rumors. Each of them said it is one of the reasons they left. Apparently losing playing time to older players rubs people the wrong way. Regardless, there is no way the 01 team (u18) is better than any of the three u19 DA squads or GBs ECNL team that is leading the Southeast conference with a +32 differential.

slickdaddy96: Guest20, well first of all since SSA didn't hold tryouts (which was dumb) parents took kids to AFC/MOBA to survey the other clubs and get a free workout. I know that is why I did it for my own kid.Jun 1, 2020 6:59:45 GMT -5

slickdaddy96: Guest20, Also since some age groups may not have enough kids for teams @ SSA Coweta, I believe some parents may be hedging their bets to make sure their kids has a spot somewhere.They got rid of Josh Villalobos down there & a majority loved him....Jun 1, 2020 7:01:32 GMT -5

slickdaddy96: ...some are pretty pissed of how he was treated by SSA and are going elsewhere due to it. That is my opinion. Opinions do vary though. Doesn't really matter most MOBA teams were almost full, they should consider multiple teams in some age groupsJun 1, 2020 7:02:44 GMT -5

slickdaddy96: Most AFC teams looked to be full as well, so honestly not very many places for SSA Coweta kids to fall. Most will have to be back or quit playing. AFC/MOBA play GA Soccer so there is going to be a step down in competition anyway....Jun 1, 2020 7:04:35 GMT -5

slickdaddy96: I have actually heard of a lot of MOBA/AFC kids in different age groups contact SSA for team info as well due to wanting to be in SCCL over the sinking ship of GA Soccer Athena/Classic.Jun 1, 2020 7:05:11 GMT -5

slickdaddy96: Well considering the majority of their DA kids are now playing on the NPL team, and the NPL team was not to shabby, and most of them will go down to SCCL-C. I think they will be fine and are far from garbage. Coweta isn't a joke just seems like it is an..Jun 1, 2020 10:26:01 GMT -5

Futsal Gawdess: How bored/meaningless is your life that u dedicate time assessing, comparing & rating 11/12 year old girls, especially considering they move from 9v9 to 11v11 so all commentary is conjecture at best. In 6-8 months, the results will say it all 🙄Jun 5, 2020 8:15:02 GMT -5

Goalkeeper Dad: That not what I was hearing from the some of the coaches and players, but it sounds like you have a better insight to that team then I do. Guess we will find out once the rosters are posted. Either way I heard they will be good. Those team were good lastJun 5, 2020 12:53:35 GMT -5
